In an act of madness, Tirana's train station was demolished recently, with the nearest station now being 15km away in Kashar for trains to Durres and Shkodra. With shoddy second hand carriages, excruciatingly slow speeds and broken windows, Albania’s railway network is strictly for the most hardcore of train spotters. All is not lost - Albania was awarded a substantial grant to upgrade the tracks from near Tirana to the Montenegrin border to handle trains going up to 120 km/hr.
A charming Italian documentary about Albania's railways can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnMgqCn5ngM&t=172s.
